Prepare the Caesar dressing. Set aside.

In a skillet, heat the olive oil and add the bread cubes over low heat with salt. Cook until crispy and golden like croutons, then season with pepper. Set aside.

Toss the tofu with the measured Caesar dressing and garlic, coating the pieces well. In another skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat and add the tofu pieces. Cook each side until well browned. Set aside.

Toss the romaine and spinach with the Caesar dressing, reserving about 1 tablespoon for the final assembly. Serve in a bowl, top the salad with the tofu, Parmesan, croutons, capers and a lemon wedge. Drizzle with the reserved Caesar dressing. Season generously with pepper.
